Personally I have the HKS Titanium exhaust. The Full Ti one. It's 4in all the way. only 4 bolts. The downpipe to elbow. everything else is slip on. But it is extremely loud. it has a dual baffle silencer so on the street it's more reasonable... Other than that it's great. Spool up with the stock twins is great.... Here are some pictures

The HKS downpipe has a crimp bend for the JDM RHD cars. For all of us with LHD cars, the HKS is a poor choice because that crimp bend restricts flow. Get a mandrel bent s/s downpipe, ceramic coat it and bolt that bitch up

For RHD, take a look at SMB exhaust from Australia. Thier downpipe is 3.5 inches that tapers to a 3 inch, or you can go 3.5 inches all the way including the catback. The quality is outstanding.

I have an HKS DP and yes it does have th crimp which restricts some flow, but it made a huge difference as is on my car. Not havong ever used any other DP on my car I couldn't tell you if anyone else was better... In case you couldn't tell by my sig I'm kinda partial to HKS

I hope you have addressed boost creep, since you are planning a full exhaust. You will need to port your wastegate or add restrictor plates. You will need to have this figured out BEFORE your tuning session.
